Well, not really.

Interesting how perceptive your children become as they get older. To illustrate:

When DS1 and DS2 had vehicles that needed any type of repair, from brakes to a complete engine overhaul or major transmission work, they did the work themselves.

They removed the frozen bolts.

They loosened locked up pistons.

They operated a cutting torch.

They did it all, start to finish, with help from Haynes manuals and Himself. Himself generally confined himself to safety advice and a boost when muscles were needed.

Earlier today, DS2 strolled out and, on his way to get the mower, politely inquired of Himself, "Where is SS and why are you working on his car?"

Himself replied, "He is in CL doing things with LMU and will be back tonight. There isn't anything he could do to help with this anyway."

DS2 pondered this for about 5 seconds, looked straight at Himself in a manner reminiscent of someone looking at a newly sprouted second head and asked, "When we had to remove engines and do all this kind of thing we had to do it all by ourselves. Why doesn't he?"

Excellent question, that.

There doesn't seem to be a sensible answer, either.*

*sigh*




* I have my own opinions about how helpful SS is. Think about teats on a boar. Or a dead horse. You get the picture, I'm sure.
